New Amsterdam Genomics

MOST COMPREHENSIVE DNA TEST

N.A.G. has created the world's premier DNA test. We scan all 22,000 genes of your DNA and cross-reference them with more than 350,000 findings from published science papers, enabling you and your doctor to optimize your health.

Individual in Focus

New Amsterdam Genomics is powerful insightful life-changing

You may have heard of 23andMe and other "genotyping" tests. However, this type of test just determines your DNA at a few discrete locations -- it doesn't come close to measuring your whole DNA. Measuring such a small amount of DNA means the findings these tests can produce are severely limited. For example, 23andMe returns little to no health information. It returns information like if you have wet or dry earwax or what color eyes you may have -- but you already knew these things before taking their test! (Even if 23andMe did measure more of your DNA, the FDA restricts it from showing you anything other than carrier status, wellness, and trait information.)

The limitations of earlier DNA tests inspired us at New Amsterdam Genomics to create a much broader test, covering all 22,000 genes of the human body. Our vastly more thorough analysis means we can provide exceptionally valuable medical information that people can use to become healthier.

What Can I Learn From This Test?

Am I at risk of a serious medical condition such as heart disease, diabetes, or cancer?
How can I tailor my diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices to optimize my health?
Which medicines and therapies are safest and most effective for me?

Specific Examples

Cancer Risk

We have identified which cancers people are at highest risk for, based on their DNA. This can direct the type of screening a person receives, meaning cancer may be caught earlier and may be easier to treat.

Cardiac Problems

We have identified patients who have rare cardiac defects. This is extraordinary, because these people may have been at risk for effects as serious as sudden cardiac death, but with help from a cardiologist, they can potentially avoid this fate and live longer.

Rare Diseases

We have identified numerous rare diseases in patients. Approximately 10% of Americans have a rare disease, and most rare diseases are not life threatening, so you should not fear learning you might have one. Knowing that you have something rare can answer a lot of questions about your health, and it can help your doctors manage your health better.

Chronic Diseases

We can find the genetic basis of all sorts of chronic diseases including diabetes, asthma, eczema, multiple sclerosis, and more. (However, genetics does not cause every disease, and some cases of disease are caused despite a person's genomics.)

Dementia

Some people are interested in learning if they are at risk for dementia as they age. We have helped many people determine their risk. In some cases, we have been able to propose possible mitigation steps.

Medication Selection

For every person who gets tested, we analyze their Cytochrome P450 genes along with many other genes to predict which medicines will work best for them. We can even in some cases determine ideal dosings for medicines.

Diet Recommendations

Have you ever wondered why certain diets work better for some people than others? There is exciting research going on right now that compares how people perform on different diets, based on variations in their DNA. We have used these studies to recommend specific diets for people. A few options include the saturated fat diet (similar to Atkins); the monounsaturated fat diet (Mediterranean diet); and the high carbohydrate, low fat diet.

Carrier Status

The average person carries multiple diseases in their DNA that they do not express themselves. (These diseases are called "recessive.") The only potential problem is if the person's partner has the same recessive disease, the couple's children are at risk of becoming afflicted. Which recessive diseases do you carry?

Ancestry

Ancestry determination is included with our analysis. Which region of the world do your ancestors come from?

The N.A.G. Difference

Whole Exome Sequencing

We analyze all 22,000 of your genes. Older tests, such as 23andMe, did what is called genotyping, which is looking at your DNA in just a few discrete places. Our approach provides a much broader view of your genome, and can even reveal rare mutations you may have.

Major Impacts

Earlier DNA tests generally only produced medical findings with small effect sizes (e.g. a 5% increased risk of something or a 10% decreased risk of something). We argue that these small findings are not very useful. N.A.G., by contrast, aims to find those medical issues that you are at much higher or lower risk for.

Advanced Computer Analysis

N.A.G. was founded on the premise that analyzing billions of DNA measurements, as is done in large scale genomics, requires elite computer programming to be done right. We have some of the best programmers in the world, and they have created superior algorithms to analyze your DNA.

Comprehensive

We report on everything from significant medical findings to diet and exercise recommendations to ancestry.
